Yup. It's morbid as hell, but I'd have a lot more control over the time I had left. My FIL has incurable cancer and he and my MIL have been traveling EVERYWHERE since they found out. He's making the most out of every day.

I have a very hard time with death. I am fearful of going too young and leaving behind my young kids, mostly. @Karen, I love that- it's a horrible situation, but they are making the most of it. We lost my FIL last year, just 6 days after he was diagnosed with lung cancer. It spread to his brain and he had a stroke during the brain surgery and never woke. We weren't prepared for that and it felt very unfinished. On the other hand, my grandpa passed 2 weeks ago after a long battle with Alzheimers, and though his health complication (pneumonia) was unexpected, we had time to say goodbye and had come to peace with the fact that it was coming. I would want to know to make the most of the life I have left, doing all the things I am scared to do to avoid dying (like flying, sadly).

I have a chronic illness, and I know that my time is limited. I find it liberating to know that I have an expiration date, and I hope that I have become a better person since my diagnosis. I'm certainly more patient with my children because I want them to remember me well. But to know the exact day? Nuh-uh!

NOPE. No no no no no. What would be the point? To spend every minute of however long a life I have left fretting and worrying myself sick over something that would remain completely out of my control? Nope. Not at all. Ignorance is bliss.

Then again, it would be kind of interesting and cool if we all had life expectancy stopwatches in clear view on our forearms from the day of birth like in that horrible JT movie "In Time." That I might actually be down for...Itbwould still be pretty horrifying though!
